I've seen a lot of transmen document their transition- but never this poetically or beautifully shot. Utterly gorgeous composition and extremely important story. Completely captivated and deeply moved.
I'm agree with you.
Deep respect, not only for Levi, but also for his mother.
The pride in his mom's face. 😭 ❤
This last shot of you on the bike is so heartwarming.
My favourite scene in the whole film. I was really happy how it turned out in the edit. thanks for watching
That's because of the music. Change the theme and he look badass!
The end scene yes, is so simply and strong in the same time, simply...
It looks like West End Vancouver
Marissa LaRocca ~ I agree. He looks very happy & it’s a heartwarming story.
It's incredible the differences between the female to the eventual man, I'm just amazed. If I was shown two pictures, the before and after of this person, there's no way I would guess in a million years that it was the same person. The transition is like the pregnancy and then the birth of a new man. It's not just the body but the whole face changes and he's unrecognisable to his former self. I'm in total awe, and what's incredible still is how very attractive trans men are. Outwardly, and in general you can't really tell the differences between trans-men from naturally born men, but through watching a lot of trans-men story videos on UTube, trans-men are more sensitive and they listen more, in general, to other people and are more open with their emotions, something that is only just evolving in naturally born men, so they can learn a lot from their trans-brothers....I'm just saying
That’s because they are and always will be a woman.
@@ruthtirado2750 nope, trans men are men
@@ruthtirado2750 here is an article about trans people that explains how you are wrong. i have plenty more if you would like them. it’s never too late to educate yourself and become a better person

@@lorins7151So why do they act like women? And not have a penis. Do they get their prostate checked?
@@ruthtirado2750 trans men are men
Mom’s love is unconditional
My mom never loved me. She made It pretty clear that I wasn't a human...I was male. I hate when people say that all mother's love unconditional blah blah bs!
True
@@babyyoucanridemybike Yeah, it's so annoying people keep saying stuff that doesn't apply to ours. The life we had is already enough, no need to force itself into perfection as others had. Sheeesh
guess mine never got the memo
Thank you for sharing your story, Levi. This is beautiful. I'm a cis female but I am grateful for this. I hope that your story can have a positive impact for (young) trans people who are starting their journey and may be struggling. This content is SO important. So valuable. It shows everyone that it is okay to be yourself, exactly as you are, no matter what. It shows that each person is beautiful and wonderful and perfect. And that there are people who will love, accept, and support you for you. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION ❤ THANK YOU.
I hope this video shows anyone who is struggling that there is hope. You can do this. You are strong. And it will get better.
Thank you so much for the support!
Levi-Nathan you are so welcome 😊
hii levi
"and this is my female male transition"
Enters browny the cat
Precious Odunayo you can literally tell someone threw it, rewatch it
Yeah, lol!
hope he’s doing great congrats on 1+ year on T to your son :))
congrats to your son for nearly 2 years since his first shot! and amazing job to you for being so accepting of your child
so you are proud of killing your kid?
@@GAOMaster what's that suppose to mean
She’s a girl, don’t get it confused. God doesn’t make mistakes on whether we were born “male” or “female”.
thank you so much for sharing this documentary, just came out as ftm about 6 months ago, turning 21 this month and today I go to my first endo appointment in hopes of knowing when I can start MY puberty, you're an inspiration you're great keep doing great!
Hey!! I am a girl but I want to be a boy. Can you please give me some advice about how and when to start? I would be very thankfull if you help me...💜💜
hey, it's been five years, how's the transition going??
I'm crying so much I wish I can tell but so scared of the rejections and also dealing with mental issue in coming up but the reson is still unknow to them
queen anabelle same...
U doing good bro?
Same
Bro I'm from India I told with my parents I told with my frds I'm happy I came out as a transman
Yep me to
The Cinematographie was beautifull!
thank you so much
I don't have a fear of needles, but holy sh*t that shot is huge! It actually scares me that one day I'm going to put that in _my_ body. Ugh, I'm already shivering just thinking about it.
Don’t worry, they also have testosterone gel that works just as good!
@@gingertwerk472 im very glad to hear that, although im pretty much fully desensitized to needles (ive dealt with a long medical history and been poked many times in many different ways), the only ones that seriously hurt me are the *really* long ones. im talking intramuscular injections here. i cant tell if theyre that long in the video but judging by how little he reacted in the video im hoping it isnt nearly as painful, otherwise im definitely going for the cream lol
Ik this is a couple years old, but hes doing intramuscular injections which are longer, and Ive heard they hurt more. Gel and patches are an option, but Im planning on doing subcutaneous injections. They go just under your skin, so the needle is much shorter. You inject into your belly fat, I've heard it doesnt hurt very much
@@saltdad5263 yeah right nw im on puberty blocker injections and i guess im fine with shots but when I start T im definitely going for the cream too.
@@hunternocedaclawthorn yeah fatty areas of the body are way less sensitive, and subcutaneous shots are nothing compared to intramuscular injections. im definitely going for the short shots once i get access to hormones
Hi Levi - thanks so much for sharing your story i'm blown away by how well you come across with your words.
this is the best story I have seen on youtube so far. also I'm glad that you, Levi, touched the dating topic because as a gay men I really am comfortable dating a transgender guy because just put this in perspective if you identify as a male, I will see you as your male and because I'm gay and like men I will not see you as your past self, I'll see you as the man you identify as and love you as that man...
I wish the best for you and thank you for sharing your story
But hes not male... So that wouldnt be gay. Inner feelings dont surprass the outside body.
kleverson j d s r he is a male, period. Also the outside body can similarly look as a male sometimes.
This is such a respectful comment, this how people should be.
This is indeed a respectful comment. I am a gay transman myself so it is nice to read such a comment.
SOO, nobody is going to acknowledge the cat @1:48?
Jeez
PETEWTHEHEAT now I’m looking for the cat 👀
I thought it said ‘be a man’ and That song from mulan just started playing in my head.
Tbh Mulan is such a mood and I love it.
thank you for me giving me the strength to continue on my journey...
I've posted similar comments on your other videos... This entire production is utterly impeccable. Everyone involved in this documentary has a true future in the film industry! Alike, you are a beautiful soul!
Thank you much! :)
I was scared when he put the shot in his leg. He did It so well xD
Yeah
Wow he's hot!
Gay trans man right here
Same
What about the mom?
Not my type exactly, but same here and he is objectively pretty damn cute.
I'm a bi trans guy and honestly you are right he is cute asf
Glenn Jones yeah there is
Thank you so much. I know other people are saying thanks to but I think I am trans ftm (I'm pretty sure) and my preferred name is Levi so hearing my name and seeing your transition helped me a lot and to learn to slow down and that I'll make it. So thank you so much and I really hope you see this💕✨
I came across this video - watched it - and found out that you go by Levi as well. I'm Pre T but still go by Levi and it feels good. Like the little things make a difference. Things like wearing guy clothes, deodorant, cologne, masculine haircut, etc. I've come out to my mom and a cousin, and hopefully I will come out to more so I can finally be my true self.
I literally am crying rn. You’re so brave! And your mom is beautiful and amazing. Sending love from Philippines 💕
I nearly skipped this video because I thought at first glance it was an aftershave ad (my screen is tiny) and that the bottle of T was aftershave 🤔
I'm glad I looked again and read the title and took the time to watch it. What a beautiful story and what a brilliant mum. 💜
Thank you for sharing this. Really touching, I'm really early into my transition but I relate to a lot of this. Especially the birth thing, I was a premature baby also and born about 3 months early so this really touched me and inspired me.
This is beautiful I'm glad his mother supports him we need more parents like her I'm gay but I support trans community all the way
Very beautiful and touching video congratulations Levi
This video made a difference in my life. Thank you for your help. I hope you are doing well.
Omg, best thing I've seen so far! I didn't want it to end ! 😭 I'm so happy for you dude! 🙏🏼✌🏽 Just be you! 💯
What an incredibly encouraging story!! It has answered so many of my questions. I'm 86 and have a grandaugher in transition. We only hope and pray for their's success and happines. This video has put my old mind at ease and I'm lookig forward to meeting my new grandson. What's not to love!!
So glad his family are with him on this, and it's so sad people like this are rejected by their own parents, well, all I can think is 'some parents aren't worthy of their own children' it might well be difficult to process at first, but some don't even try, or start hiding behind various assorted 'holy books' to back up prejudice; well shame on you for being cowardly and feeble minded, my Mother once said 'my children could _murder_ and I would still love them' not that any of us actually _have_ but I was lucky to be brought up by people who really knew what it was to care for others, it's not every parent who has the guts to do that when things get challenging...
Thank you for sharing. I am passing your story along today, so perhaps hearing it will convince someone to have more compassion - or even save someone's life. Much love.
what a long strange trip it's been...for me too and I love all your mom's support. You rock dude!!
It's really wonderful that they're getting to transition at such a young age these days. It's the most exciting time of anybody's life and he'll experience that as his true self. Amazing.
Yeah cause her "true self" requires irreversible mutilation and a heavy drugs for the rest of her life. In any other context I highly doubt you would recommend someone hack of body parts to "become their true self".
You people are insane.
Hmm...
Thank you for creating this video. It's filmed so well and it's been very inspirational for me.
Glad you enjoy it!
❤️🙏🏽 I'm speechless
Your story is so beautiful. I am so glad that you became the person you were always meant to be!
Dude, I was born 2.5 months early in '84. Hearing that it probably saved our lives has just made such a huge impact on me! Cheers man 👌🏻
You're a strong, courageous trans man, Levi. Thank you for sharing your story!
I identify with a lot of the challenges you face. We also shared similar names at birth and the same trans name! Watching videos like yours give me strength and empower to move forward on my own journey to be comfortable with myself, regardless of the opinions others!
Thank you for sharing your story. It took alot of courage to let the world into your life. Not only into your personal life, but into your journey to finding your gender identity. Never be afraid to be you.
This made me so hopeful for the future. I'm feeling pretty dysphoric today so I really needed this. My first therapy session is in 11 days and I couldn't be more excited to work on getting my letter for t so I can begin my transition!
this is so inspiring.. however some or others cant do it that easy..but yeah time may come and things may be accepted by others who you really are and at some point you might lost others but some are still there and support you all the way.. i love your story man
🖤I love this is much 🖤
I to am trans, and honestly this helps me a lot. Thank you Levi. 🖤
Thank you so much for sharing! I think it was important for me to see this. I couldn’t see this if you weren’t here to write the story. 💗
so touching, you, your story, your mother. no mater what gender you become you are very sensitive human being and the way you accept yourself so good will make you completely irresistible to anyone who has eyes and heart.
He's so cute and sweet. I've been watching MtF youtubers because that's the journey i wanna start but I'm extremely scared, but the boys are also cool.
This documentary is also cool, i didn't think I'd watch more than 5 minutes and it's just... it's like nothing I've ever seen. I think it's groundbreaking. It's just too *%$$#$*@#** short😭😭😭
one year later, did you ever start your transition journey?
Wow your smile 😊. You look amazing and very comfortable and content in your own skin. Wishing you every happiness x
The end with the bike. The music sounds like wrabel's "the village" but in slow motion and a little bit different instrumental and it's just.... I'm Fucking crying.
I look up to both you and your mom! Btw random but we started testosterone the same day 9.2.14!
I loved it! It is so heartwarming and beautifully written. I am trans too, I am from Italy. ;)
Fantastic job man! Congrats on all the progress, and thank you for making this video and paying attention to the details. You'll help a lot of kids with this for sure! Cheers!
Levi, huge congrats on your profound transition, this documentary, & your loving relationship with your mother. Her acceptance & your happiness is so evident & beautiful to watch. As a trans man myself - I’m truly moved to observe & relate. The world is thankfully changing & the love/understanding of the trans experience has been a vital aspect of LGBTQ acceptance as a whole. We still have a long way to go but thank you for sharing your story. It’s very important because your humanizing something that so many people still don’t understand. Thank you, my friend.
This is really well-done. Your mom is amazing.
Thank you for this. You put my feelings into words. I hope someday I will be like you.
This was amazing, bless you for existing 💯
Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration.
Thanks for the video, Levi. I’m 12,and your video inspired me to come out to my mom. Thanks
Wow😍😍
What amazing transformation❤❤❤
You know you dont have to be afraid about having a relationship with someone , weithere its a man a bi or etc. Cuz you know your a good man with a good looking man❤❤❤❤
And im having a crash on you with the last shot of this video with you on that bike❤❤❤😍😍
Congrats to you transition LEVI NATHAN❤❤
You don't have to be trans to struggle with the dating scene, I'm a man who is not trans and I struggle with the dating scene as well. I've often feared that women don't like me in a romantic way despite how much I go out my way to make an effort to get my hair cut and dress in suave sophisticated clothes
fantastic video levi thanks for sharing your heartwarming story
Thank you, Levi, for sharing your story. Have a gorgeous life!
So nicely shot. I loved both the cinematography and the story (and the honesty in it). THANKS. It somehow reminds me of Leo Mateus's channel.
This is really well made! I’m trans FTM too! Thank you for showing us your story
My mom had a miscarriage (of a boy) before carrying me and it was a prophecy by many people that a son would not survive in this family. My mom's still scared of that fact and is not allowing me to transition. Seeing your story inspired me a lot that maybe someday I might finally become how I imagine myself to be. Thank you so much Levi!
You are lucky to be alive and got supportive family, so make it worth it and doing somethings good for other too. Cherish!
Amazing life story! No matter how you were born and how you want to live, you are meant to be here on this earth. You are beautiful and Handsome 👍🏻❤️
Not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry not gonna cry
Crap I'm crying
I liked the fact that you realized that this change is part of the mental health. And if that's what it keeps you going !
Levi you are handsome young man who deserves a good life and you are gonna find someone who loves you. You are such an inspiration for me because you just except your past and I'm trans female and my past is just painful to except. But I'm trying to push through it. Love lots❤🧡💛💚💙💜
The joy in your face at the end of the film is so wonderful and heartwarming to see and feel. I am ftm too, will be starting transition soon, albeit much later in life than you are. You inspire me to be me!Nice production of video also!
Levi is a very mature Young Man who has the whole world at His feet So Good
Hi Levi! Thanks for sharing your story! I stumbled on this video and applaud you for being so open and honest! You are gorgeous!! ❤️
Excellent presentation of your life story Levi!
Thank you for giving others the ability to tap into your experiences and offer them the same hope on this road ahead of them and that you have now traveled and flourished in...
I wanna hear from the brother and dad. They seem to be the sane ones in the family.
Thanks Levi For Sharing Your Story
Thank you so much for sharing. Deep respect. Wish you the best!!

This video made me emotional because I relate to so much. My mom is supportive and my dad doesn't say much but he's fine with it. This is a long journey.
I’m so proud of you , and it’s absolutely amazing story you shared to us . I’m so excited you finally become who you really want to be .
OMG levi your story touch my heart and I'm so proud of you for sharing this and thank God for your mom in understanding you but it's really love hugs and kisses to your mom wish I had the chance to tell my mom back then but she passed away I was trap in having a kid and after my mom die I gave the kid to a family member but I still didn't have the help you guys have today or the support I wish I could start my life over because you gave me hope in my self your story was like a beautiful and emotional movie good will always watch over you and your family sending love and prayers to the both of you 🌹
I have the same birth name as you, that’s crazy. Thank you for sharing your story, I can relate to so much. I am just over a month on T so far and although I’m still struggling with stuff personally I feel so much better finally living who I truly am. I’m excited for the future for the first time in my life. Wish you all the best on your continued journey ❤️
this is the BEST doc i’ve ever seen😱😱❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad he recognizes where he comes from and honors that. It was all part of his becoming.
Am a trans woman but i like from time to time to watch transmen Stories and see what they go through ❤️ am so happy u made it into ur right body and gender ❤️❤️
genuinely speechless thank you for putting this out into the world... wow
I really barely cry because of things but when I'm always crying when I start watching girls or boys getting happy because they get their bodies they wished for years it just makes me happy and sad at the same time.
I want this but I don't get it.
But I'm happy that other people and folks can. I'm proud of you.
Continue being the person you want to be and let other people never stop you.
After 5 years of questioning my gender. I finally know how it feels to be who you are ❤. I just this past Tuesday I started taking Estradiol to medically transition from male to female. I never thought it would ever happen & it did. I take half of a pill in the morning and the other at night and let it dissolve under my tongue.
Thank you so much, this is helping me alot with wanting to be TG and not getting support from people I need it from. But after watching this I have a better view of who I want to be. So thank you so much!
Than you Levi for sharing your story. I'm sure it will be of help to others to hear it. Much love as you continue your journey.
Amazing story! Much love & happiness to you & your mom❤️
This is such a wonderful documentary. Thank you for posting it!
Impressive story. I wish you the best on your journey brother.
this is crazy i was born 3 months early 2 pounds with low chance of life and i’m trans ftm!
♥️ this documentary.
These stories are so interesting. I'm binge watching to help me finish organizing in my new house.
I am grateful for your video. I am a soon to be healthcare worker and I feel it's important to understand this. I feel as if I will never understand it as someone who experiences it, but your video was beautiful amazing amd truly from the heart. I have some people in my life who are members of the LGBTQ community and I really want to learn more and make them feel more comfortable. ❤
I hope you are doing great!
That'll be me one day
The voice is the most striking change in terms of personality. I am brazilian and I live in Brazil. I wish you happiness always.
A Wonderful Mother ! You both are an example of LOVE
